Program Structure

This virtual program is scheduled from Tuesday to Friday for 60mins each day. All the programs follow a similar pattern in Brain Gym- 5 mins towards understanding the activity/challenge and rest of the time to apply their knowledge and solve the challenges. This gives each student the flexibility of learning.

We offer programs which are designed to develop core thinking and problem solving skills in kids.

As a result of our programs children will develop the following life skills

• Critical Thinking

• Logical Reasoning

• Problem Solving

• Decision Making

Classes will be conducted using Zoom Meetings. The meeting ids and passwords will be shared during joining, along with the links to flipgrid and the various portals

NEW BATCHES

New batch begins every Tuesday. This would happen either during a dedicated slot or in the same time slot as our existing camps, but in a separate break room with a devoted mentor for new students.

The new students will be handled until they are comfortable enough to join the main batches.
